Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed development falls within the terms of the permitted development rights under Article 3(1), Schedule 2, Part 3, Class Q of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended), with specific regard to the extent of physical works proposed
  • If so, whether prior approval should be granted in respect of the design and external appearance of the building

What decided it

The structural report demonstrating that the existing building fabric was capable of conversion and that the proposed works, though extensive, would not constitute a fresh build but rather a permissible conversion within Class Q of the GPDO.

The main issues and the deciding factor are read from the published letter by Town Planner Pro; the letter itself is the record. Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0. Research, not advice.
